Your bedroom is your throne! Make it fully your holy space to get a good night’s sleep. The more comfortable your bedroom is, the better you will sleep. Try not to keep it cluttered so that this can truly be your space to wind down.
The living room is the have all of all rooms. The way you style it sets the tone and vibe for the household. Try and put effort into your decor efforts and think about the space and what you will use it for.
If you are big into hosting, ensure enough sitting space and chairs and tables. If you are a homebody then cozy vibes are what you should go for.
Every kitchen is different and depending on what type of person you are, you might only need cereal bowls and milk, or a full blown mixer and baking set. Buy according to what you will really use, and not who you hope to be.
